High-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition necessitating hemodynamic stabilization and rapid restoration of perfusion. In this context, evidence regarding the benefit advanced circulatory support recanalization strategies still limited. observational study, we assessed data 1060 patients treated for high-risk PE with 991 being included in target trial emulation to investigate all-cause in-hospital mortality estimates different treatment strategies. The four...
Abstract Background and aims Candidate s election for lung transplantation (LuTx) is pivotal to ensure individual patient benefit as well optimal donor organ allocation. The impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on post-transplant outcomes remains controversial. We provide comprehensive data the relevance CAD short- long-term following LuTx identify risk factors mortality. Methods retrospectively analyzed all adult patients (≥ 18 years) undergoing primary isolated between January 2000...
ABSTRACT Aims Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a frequent comorbidity in lung transplant (LuTx) candidates. The impact of allogenic organ transplantation and the corresponding alterations immune response on progression CAD remains poorly understood. In this study, we sought to analyze effect donor‐recipient overall human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA‐DQ mismatch cardiovascular outcomes following LuTx. Methods Results This retrospective analysis adult patients receiving at LMU University...
Cardiogenic shock (CS) patients suffer from severe organ hypoperfusion, yet the incidence of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill (SSC-CIP) CS is poorly described. Given limited evidence and severity this syndrome, we aimed to further investigate SSC-CIP context CS. 24 251 total admitted between 1 January 2010 31 December 2023 were retrospectively screened for diagnosis across nine German tertiary care centers. Following identification confirmed diagnosis, baseline...
Background. Baseline lung allograft dysfunction (BLAD) is characterized by the failure to achieve normal baseline function after double transplantation (DLTX) and associated with a high risk of mortality. In single transplant (SLTX) recipients, however, cutoff values factors have not been explored. Here, we aimed define BLAD in SLTX investigate its impact on survival, identify potential for recipients. Methods. We performed retrospective, single-center analysis LTX cohort LMU Munich between...
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) represents the diagnostic image modality of choice in several conditions. With an increasing number patients requiring for purposes, issue safety with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) undergoing this imaging will play ever more important role. The purpose study was to assess and device function following unrestricted real-world cohort a wide array devices.
Critical care cardiology (CCC) in the modern era is shaped by a multitude of innovative treatment options and an increasingly complex, ageing patient population. Generating high-quality evidence for novel interventions devices intensive setting exceptionally challenging. As result, formulating best possible therapeutic approach continues to rely predominantly on expert opinion local standard operating procedures. Fostering full potential CCC maturation next generation decision-makers this...
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality. Patients treated for CS mostly require heparin therapy, which may be complications such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). HIT represents a serious condition platelet decline and increased hypercoagulability remains poorly researched field in intensive care medicine. Primary purpose of this study was to: 1) determine prevalence CS, 2) assess the performance common diagnostic tests workup HIT, 3) compare outcomes patients...
